My ss died.

This is a discussion on My ss died. within the General Help forums, part of the LSx Technical Help Section category; Ok tried again.
The security light stated on diz time. But my batt is very low on charge. That's probably ...

Even push-starting your car might not work if the battery is too weak. You should probably keep a portable jumper box with you or keep a battery charger. That's IF the battery isn't too weak to hold a charge.

Yeah I pushed it but it didn't work. To low on charge.
Now I changed the batt from my other car. But it doesn't crank.
Probably cuz the starter. I'm a install the new starter tomorrow and see what happens.
The security light seems to be fine now

What car did the other battery come out of? That battery might not have the correct cold cranking amps to start the Camaro.

How the heck do you have 1100 posts? that and you should have read the directions about checking the ohms before you get the resistor cause if its not the right ohms then of course the bypass is not going to work. I am leaning more towards the vats now like orion said, if your going to get a new batt miswell test your alternator also to make sure its not bad either. If it is niether the starts batt or alternator, maybe like I stated earlier about the fuel pump but you have to make sure the damn ohms is right on the bypass with the resister or else it wont work period.

How do I have 1100 I have no clue. Lol
I was having some trouble with the vats cuz that's something new for me.
I dnt played with anything that has to be with electrical. I was just confused. I'm learning as I go.
The alternator looks almost new. The previous owner said he changed sometime last year.
The batt died cuz since Thursday I been workin on the car and the radio and all that killed the battery. Plus I had to push it 2 blocks to bring it home. It was at nite so the lights were on

If you didn't get it yet... http://www.wikihow.com/Use-an-Ohmmeter
You can get a cheap multi-meter at your hardware or autoparts store, which will test also test volts, play around with it for a while. Mine is my saving grace when troubleshouting problems like yours

Ohms

Sweet glad you got her going again.. In the meantime I'm going to post this for others (copy picture) whom may come across this thread.. So maybe to help others understand how to determine the (ohms resistance) color codes of common resistors..
